python 输出文件分隔符_python：如何从自然语言文件中提取记录，只有分隔符是从记录开头的5个字符...

我需要从一个相当古老的系统生成的日志文件中提取单个记录，并让它们准备好进行数据库输入。这些平面文件都是我可以提取的(只是格式化查询花了几周时间)。这是一个有两个记录的文件的例子。我看到的唯一分隔符是“/ 11 S11-”，它本身在5个字符的常规位置，但不是在开头或结尾处。

对于那些观看，是的，这与my other newb question有关。我查看了python文档，一些google结果和一些related questions。所以，我的问题是

a)如何使用在记录中开始5个字符的分隔符？

b)如何抓住这些自然语言的大块？

c)如何摆脱换行符后的空格？这可能是最简单的部分：我可以在查询中指定每个字段有多长。现在，accessionDate长度为10个字符，accessionNumber长度为10个字符，patMedicalRecordNum长度为15个字符。所以finalDxText上的空格是35个字符。
